The Last Summer

Letting the walls of a building speak
“What if the walls of the building had ears
And if they had listened
Attentively
For years, decades
What could they tell us?”
On the weekend of 16 to 18 September, as part of the European Heritage and Cultural Summer Days of the DRAC Île-de-France, Le Dernier Été takes visitors on a poetic journey in 3 apartments destined for demolition: a moment of pause to celebrate together the living memory of the Anatole France district in Nanterre.
How to preserve the memory anchored in the walls and in the hearts of the inhabitants? How can we take care of the intangible, social and human heritage of a neighbourhood and give it a place in future urban projects?
L'Épicerie Rose and a dozen artists, coordinated by the company Teatro Container and the collective Superbrut.es join forces and offer an experience including performance, theatre, video mapping, collaborative exhibition, and friendly moments imagined with the inhabitants of the neighborhood.

This project is supported by the City of Nanterre, Seqens, l'Apes and the DRAC Île-de-France.

About the location

L'Épicerie rose

188 avenue de la République 92000 Nanterre

Île-de-France

L'Epicerie rose is an old butcher shop located on the ground floor of the Ponant bar of the Anatole France city in Nanterre. The Master Cultural Project in the public space of the University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne was installed there in 2020 with the agreement of the Apes and Seqens. The place has transformed over the months into a social living space in the neighborhood, a space of experiences and games for children, adolescents and their families, mainly their mothers. It is now managed by the association La Cité rose, which brings together local residents, students and artists. Activities and friendly moments are regularly organized.
